Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 6.85 lbs.


Picking up this guitar for the first time was a truly moving experience. Serial number 406 is a butterscotch Classic T that absolutely blew us all out of the water. With the classic and versatile pickup configuration, coupled with a deeply resonant guitar, you can expect a "Thank You" card in the mail from any amplifier you plug this one into.

From Michael Tuttle Guitars

That's what you get with Michael Tuttle Guitars

For the past two decades Michael has specialized in the fine art of what it takes to make a piece of wood feel good. Michael makes the necks feel like they're a part of your hands from the moment you pick them up.

Michael Tuttle's background includes stints with Valley Arts and Don Grosh Guitars, where, among other things, he gained a reputation for his fretwork. As a guitar player for the last 30 years, the transition from a professional musician to guitar builder has been a valuable asset to his company. He built his first guitar in the early 80's and in 1993 started building guitars commercially. After 10 years of honing the art of guitar building working for other organizations it was time to start out on his own. Michael Tuttle Guitars began in 2003. His unique craftsmanship and quality are unparalleled. Once you've played a Tuttle you'll know!
